Altrusa Holiday Home Tour

Join us on Saturday, December 5, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the 36th Annual Altrusa of Ames Holiday Home Tour! This beloved community event features five beautifully decorated homes, showcasing unique holiday décor and festive inspiration to kickstart your season. Whether you are looking for decorating ideas or simply want to enjoy the holiday spirit, the tour offers something for everyone.

Tickets are $20, and all proceeds directly support local non-profits, including this year’s grant winners: Ames Romero House, ChildServe Ames, Martha’s House of Hope, Raising Readers in Story County, and Salvation Army. It is a wonderful way to enjoy the holiday magic while giving back to organizations making a difference in our community.

Tickets can be purchased in person at Everts Flowers Home and Gifts and O’Donnell Ace Hardware, on-site the day of the event, club members, or online. Click here to purchase Holiday Home Tour online tickets.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to celebrate the season while supporting local causes! For more information, visit Altrusa’s website or follow us on Facebook or Instagram for updates!
